EFT4Vets

The military community in general is not exactly open and excited about healing offers. Most Veterans acknowledge the work and express gratitude, but are far from asking for help for themselves. If we want to make a difference on a larger scale, we need to understand that the toughest thing for helping Veterans heal is NOT to release the trauma, but to find ways to help them TRUST us!

I was a driver on convoys in Croatia and Bosnia in early 90′s before the Dayton Agreement. It took 6 years for the PTSD, Combat Stress etc… to go full throttle on my brain, body and soul, the latter being the worst in my opinion. More than fifteen years has past and I am still fucked up, but not nearly as bad. I decided to tap on a panic attack that I had in the middle of the night. After five minutes, I felt no pain, not in my body not in my soul.

I actually fell asleep. I can only say that I tapped my way out of it. Next day, I woke up and had a great day. I am going to continue to tap and free myself from the ghosts that haunt all of us.

Asking for help is almost impossible for many Veterans. And it seems to be more acceptable for the military to see their traumatized veterans self medicate with alcohol and drugs, than to give them access to information that can help them heal and be strong again.

If we truly want to help our Veterans heal, we have to support those who have contact, who support them right now.
Families and friends can talk to a veteran in a very different, caring and compassionate way, much better than a mental health professional who has a very limited amount of time to adjust the drug cocktail that someone might receive. It is the time and caring that many Veterans need.

If you receive the www.eftuniverse.com newsletter, you have already heard about the meeting with a Colonel from Walter Reed last week, as well as the round table at the committee for veterans affairs on July 21st.
I was honored to attend the meeting, and to share about the work with Veterans and EFT.
